Dearest Carol,What a lovely surprise and thanks so much for such a wonderful afternoon. It's not the same going back without you. What an amazing painting of that chocolate heaven. I was wondering why you asked me to lift that plate up - you are so clever! Deliciously tempting post. J xo

Did you see the gorgeous chocolate cigars? Its a wonderful creation that I've never seen in any other chocolate shop in paris! A bar of dark chocolate, moulded to look like a cuban cigar and then dusted with cocoa powder. It's decadently delicious and I always leave with a few boxes for very appreciative friends. A box of chocolates that even guys appreciate.

My palette finds all these deliciously chocolaty imagesoverwhelmingly appealing. So much so that I can envision subtle wet variations of Siennas, Umbers, and Ochres on my studio palette, awaiting the creation of a big chocolaty painting.Scrumptious!

Paris, Ile de France, France

I moved to Paris 2 years ago. I should have done it sooner but that's how the macaron crumbles. Living on the Ile Saint Louis next to the Seine after the 19eme is 'la cerise sur la gâteau'. It doesn't get any better. I've painted watercolors for Bocuse, Champagne Mumm, Guerlain, Frederick Cassel, The Russian Tearoom and the Maharana of Udaipur.
